Pay the price
Hospitals full
No beds for care,
Government money
All too rare.
Dementia patients left to cope
Danger, stranger, lost all hope.
Children waiting months to see,
Counsellors to set them free.
Schizophrenia, write them off
No one really gives a toss.
Benefits the only way,
Stop them having any say.
Depression that's just a joke,
Just a crushing wall of smoke,
Watch it take your life,
Maybe even steal your wife.
Mental health
The greatest fear.
All that madness.
All that sadness.

Louise - I would change only one word in this piece - try 'Counsellors to set them free'. I think it flows. Great poem about the state of NHS mental health support though.
